32/31 is the small tricesimoprimal quartertone measuring about 55 ¢. It differs from 33/32, the undecimal quartertone, by 1024/1023 (approx. 1.69 ¢). It differs from 31/30, another tricesimoprimal quartertone, by 961/960 (approx. 1.80 ¢); they together make 16/15. This interval is approximated well (about 0.4 ¢ off) by 1\22 and extremely closely (about 0.0025 ¢ off) by 6\131. It can also serve as a generator for the escapade temperament.

This interval is significant in Helmholtz-Ellis notation as the formal comma to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby tricesimoprimal (31-limit) interval. The symbols being used are virtually identical to Persian quartertones accidentals invented by Ali-Naqi Vaziri.
